The Chippewa Herald:
PLOVER — Edwin Chester Zimbelman, 92, of Chippewa Falls, village of Lake Hallie, died Sunday, Sept. 16, 2012 at Maple Ridge Memory Care in Plover while under the care of Ministry Home Care Hospice.
He was born Feb. 23, 1920 in Fairfax, S.D., to Sophia (Ulmer) and William Zimbelman.
He served in the U.S. Navy from Dec. 28, 1943 until being honorably discharged on Oct. 24, 1944.
Ed married Marjorie Alice Reid on Feb. 29, 1944 in Menomonie. They resided in Chippewa Falls.
He worked for Indianhead Trucking as a driver, then as a driver for American Materials until he retired.
Ed could do just about anything, from mechanics, welding, construction and gardening to tree trimming. He ran a hobby farm, gas station and a sports shop. He loved helping others, tinkering in his garage, fixing anything that didn’t work.
He worked harder after his retirement than he did during his years as a truck driver. He was usually outside from the crack of dawn until supper time or later. His children and grandchildren were blessed with a “Mr. Fix It” for a father and grandfather.
Survivors include: a daughter, Jill (Thomas) Schaefer of Plover; a son, Gary Zimbelman of Chippewa Falls; six grandchildren, Rick (Lisa) Zimbelman, Melissa (Tim) Turbett, Aaron (Tricia) Zimbelman, Nicholas (Bri) Haley, Justin (Jenny) Haley and Michael Bergman; 11 great-grandchildren, Paxton and Elin Haley, Ethan, Nicole, Natalie, Evan, Nora and Mason Zimbelman, Trelan and Micha Turbett, and Reese Haley; and other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by: his parents; his wife Marjorie on March 19, 2012; five sisters, Martha Carter, Esther Schmidt, Louise Dunkak, Helen Stoltenberg and Edna Vosika; and five brothers, Walter, Bill, Otto, Carl and Paul Zimbelman.
A funeral service will be held at 3 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 20 at Pederson-Volker Funeral Chapel in Chippewa Falls with Rev. Terri Koca officiating. Interment will be in Prairie View Cemetery, Chippewa Falls.
Visitation will be held from 1 p.m. until the time of the service at 3 p.m. Thursday at the funeral chapel.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Maple Ridge and also thank Kathlene Sterling for brightening Ed’s day and always making him smile.
Pederson-Volker Funeral Chapel and Cremation Services, Chippewa Falls, is serving the family.
